Configuring fax (MAS Admin)

Using the fax capability, subscribers can send and receive faxes via their mailboxes. To enable fax for a voice mail domain, you must configure the system to communicate with a fax server.

Fax Enable. Select to enable Fax. This check box is not selected by default.

MAS Fax Sender Server. Enter the name of the Messaging Application Server (MAS) that will process outgoing faxes. If your system has only one MAS, enter the name of that MAS.

Fax Mailbox. Enter the mailbox number of the mailbox on the Messaging Server that is to be used for outgoing faxes. This number must match the number in the Fax Mailbox Number field on the Configure Subscriber Management page of the MSS server.

Company Fax Number. Enter the fax number that callers should use to send faxes to subscribers on the system. This number will appear on any outgoing fax cover pages.

Canonical Addressing. Select if your fax servers support canonical addressing. Canonical addressing specifies the full fax telephone number for the voice mail domain, for use by the telephone user interface. When a subscriber wants to send a fax, the system will prompt for these outgoing numbers or allow alternative entries as an aid to addressing. The canonical address also allows the system to prevent unnecessary toll calls if the receiver of the fax uses the same country code or area code as the sender.

The canonical address includes the country code and area code, in other words:

+CountryCode [(AreaCode)] SubscriberNumber

For example:

+1 (408) 345 8000

If you enable canonical addressing, you must specify a default country code and area code for this voice mail domain.
